Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I have not seen the table but appreciate it is normal and therefore do not complain about it. I will look at it later. However, I am conscious that the Justice for the Forgotten group has made numerous attempts to seek a meeting with the Taoiseach. It represents relatives of victims of the worst atrocities that occurred during the Troubles in Dublin and Monaghan. Last week was the 40th anniversary of the 1972 bombings. These people are at a loss to explain why the Taoiseach will not meet them. I tabled this issue in Question No. 31 but as we may not get that far today I would appreciate if the Taoiseach were to give a commitment to meet that group. He has met with other groups on the island and this group deserves to be met although so far it has only had refusals. I find that unacceptable and inexplicable so I ask the Taoiseach to reconsider, reflect on it and perhaps agree to meet the Justice for the Forgotten group.
